Top N, but since I never used this feature, I am not too sure what all is involved. You could probably create your own by keeping a counter and sorting the donations by date.

To use top - N you have to have a group and a summary (part of the top - N). I have not used it very much. I probably work better as lockwelle suggested.
Thanks for your replies! I do have both summary & group but am unfamiliar with TopN or how to get to it. Is that a function? I usually display the single last gift (descending sort by date & copy/paste into header) - but don't know how to expand that count to 3. I am able to show the last three dates, but for amount I've only figured out how to show the 3 largest or 3 smallest.

It is both a function and a option. The functions are called NthLargest and NthSmallest. The option is under the Report menu item and is called Group Sort Expert. Unfortunately I do not think this will work for what you are trying to achieve.
Lockwelle suggested doing a counter. I think if you were grouped by donor, sorted by date (descending), suppress when the counter >10, reset counter at the group level.
You also might be able to do a group selection. I will have to try a test.
